Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Girls on the Run is a transformational physical activity based positive youth development program for girls in 3rd-8th grades. We teach life skills through dynamic, interactive lessons and running games. The program culminates with the girls being physically and emotionally prepared to complete a celebratory 5k running event. The goal of the program is to unleash confidence through accomplishment while establishing a lifetime appreciation of health and fitness. At Girls on the Run Greater Houston, teaching essential life skills is the cornerstone of our research-based programs. Trained volunteer coaches facilitate lessons that blend physical activity with life skill development, including managing emotions, fostering friendships, and expressing empathy.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Girls on the Run has fun, evidence-based programs that inspire participants to recognize their inner strength, increase their level of physical activity, imagine their possibilities, and confidently stand up for themselves and others, inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running. We envision a world where every girl knows and activates her limitless potential and is boldly free to pursue her dreams.

  • Girls on the Run Greater Houston held after-school programs serving 1,802 girls at 123 sites around the Greater Houston area (Harris, Ft. Bend, and Montgomery Counties) in 2024. The program combines an interactive curriculum and running to inspire self-respect and healthy lifestyles in pre-teen and early teen girls from 3rd-8th grades. 1,719 3rd-5th graders participated in "Girls on the Run" programs at 115 sites and 83 6th-8th graders participated in the "Heart & Sole" program at 8 sites. 61% of the girls pay an average of $43 for a program that cost $344 per girl. And the rest pay only $195. Girls on the Run Greater Houston was awarded distinction by the International organization for its efforts to serve the greatest number of girls in difficult circumstances. GOTRGH provided over $120,000 in financial assistance through substantially reduced fees including -0- fees to disadvantaged girls in 2024. With the help of our generous sponsors and donors, we are able to bring the Girls on the Run and Heart & Sole programs to schools (public, private, charter), as well as community centers, YMCAs, parks, and a clinic specializing in obesity. 774 volunteers including 552 unpaid coaches donated their time and effort to Girls on the Run in 2024. There is no shortage of girls who would like to participate in our program, only a shortage of coaches who are selflessly willing to volunteer their after-school time on behalf of young girls across the Greater Houston area.

  • Girls on the Run Greater Houston holds 5k runs at Rice University. The 5k runs are the culmination of the program and the goal is for the girls to complete a 5k in a positive, encouraging environment. We had over 4,400 runners in 2024 including over 2,000 parents and community runners in addition to the girls and coaches. It is a wonder to behold! All the girls completed their 5k runs with their coaches, siblings, and parents cheering them on. The true success of the program, however, is not told in the numbers, but in the words of the girls: "Girls on the Run made me realize that I am the boss of my brain." "I know that whatever I set my mind to do, I can do." "At Girls on the Run, I learned how to be comfortable in my own skin!" Girls on the Run honors its core values. We strive to: --Recognize our power and responsibility to be intentional in our decision-making. --Stand up for ourselves and others. --Embrace our differences and find strength in our connectedness. --Nurture our physical, emotional and spiritual health. --Express joy, optimism, and gratitude through our words, thoughts, and actions. --Lead with an open heart and assume positive intent. --LEARN. LIVE. DREAM. RUN!

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

As filed, from the IRS e-Postcard file of 26 October 2026. The IRS publishes only each organization's most recent postcard, so earlier years are not shown. A 990-N carries no financial detail. The postcard also gives the principal officer's address, which is not shown here.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
